--- any sort of NLP is much harder than you think! If we are back to codifying something, either we build it in english (which people would disagree with) or having an list of all known way to spell, decline and abbreviate hours in all known human languages. Is is very much a boiling the oceans solution. -brian -- brian suda http://suda.co.uk _______________________________________________ microformats-new mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-new
